Are you from selection.co.uk?

If it's to have any success it'll have to support the other build systems.
However my hope is that I can make this thing so simple and intuitive that
new projects would prefer it.
I haven't spent much time on it yet so there is a way to go still.

At the moment yes. But it will definitely support others.
Probable environment variables are:
DARCH = amd64 # 386|amd64|arm
DCC = dmd # dmd|gcc|ldc

For make files I'll have to support a specific interaction with them.
Probably just make and make install for starters.
